Snake River Fishing Report – (9.9.26)

Releases out of the dam will be decreasing by about 150 cfs a day, starting today and continuing through October10 when we’ll reach the winter cfs of 280. This is an estimate and subject to change.

WILSON BOAT RAMP: Many of you will be excited to hear that we have scheduled Yellow Iron to come do some maintenance work on the dirt section of the Wilson Boat Ramp access road. Yellow Iron will be working at the unpaved entrance Thursday, September 10 with a grader and potentially a roller. I know this comes a bit late in the season but hopefully makes those last trips a little smoother for you, your staff, and your clients. – Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation

Flow are sitting steady at 5,000 cfs. The Snake River’s turbidity has been settling down after some weeks of heavy rain. Water tempatures have cooled into more friendly levels for our trout friends and the fall fishing season is knocking on our door.

As the Snake River finishes out the summer season, expect higher than average flows. Look for dry dropper rigs, nymph rigs and streamers to be the most productive moving forward. Chernobyl styled dry dropper patterns or classic indicator nymph rigs paired with Rubberlegs, Duracells, Perdigons and other liked nymphs have been effective. Hoppers mixed with Mahoganies, Hecuba Drakes and BWOs are going to be the name of the game.With the higher flows this year, anglers should be ready for a bit of everything. Floats are going to be fast and the currents are going to be pushy, so be safe out there.
